Pennies dissapear as quaters, dimes, and nickels circulate. There are 10,000,000 pennies being punched out daily.

Abolish the penny and use useless pennys to charities than cashed before abolished. Use an execetive order to abolish penny rather than an act of congress.Its up to the Treasury jurisdiction to decide what to do. Some exception to not using the penny are the tolls we pay. Establishments which are trying to round down cash tranactions will refuse to accept pennies.
